p.iiiPREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.

The fact that a Second Edition of this Manual has been called for withina few months of its first publication, shows, I think, that it has met awant which was previously felt by Clergy and Churchwardens.  The wholeof the Manual has been revised, and additions made with special referenceto the Burial Laws, the position of District Churches as regards the MotherChurch, and the conveyance of land or buildings to trustees for mission orother purposes, which it is hoped will add to its value.

p.ivPREFACE TO THE THIRD EDITION.

Additions have been made to the present Edition, especially withreference to the changes which the Local Government Act, 1894, has made asto the duties of Churchwardens.  It is hoped that these additions maybe found useful.  I once more express the hope that this Manual may befound increasingly helpful in the hands of the Churchwardens in thecarrying out of their very responsible duties as officers of theChurch.
